Subject: Symptoms I am a singer, and have been noticing a very tired/swollen feeling in my throat, jaw and neck after singing for extended periods, as well as some neck and head pain. I recently saw my family physician about this, but also mentioned that I'd been having occasions in which I was unable to chew my food because my jaw muscles were just too tired. I thought that maybe I was having an ear infection or swollen glands, but my doctor said I was fine other than I might possibly have MG. He was not convinced because the disease usually involves the eyes, which I do not have a problem with. My question is this: Have you ever heard of a person with MG having this same difficulty with singing? And what is the best way to diagnose this disease? My doctor mentioned a couple of different tests, but left it up to me to do some research and decide what I wanted to do next. One of the tests has a possible serious side effect, so I don't know what to do at this point. Thank you for your help! |
